NYC Now and Then
I understand this, but you seem to have ignored my point in that it is trivially easy to make something similar for email and yet no one did, and that it is unclear what’s to stop the same situation from happening again when 90% of users have a lemmy.org or whatever address.

Or like happened with the original decentralized web. there was once a thing called a “blog” that you could host on your own server from your home, but these days everyone is “blogging” through fb twitter and instagram (or your choice of a few platforms). Why is this time different?
> Our new constitution was thrown out for not being created in an acceptable manner.

This is not true (or at least it is not that simple [but you probably know that]). The new constitution is still a draft which was accepted to become a new constitution in a national referendum in 2012. There was nothing inadequate about the drafting of it except failure by the ruling parties to deliver in the results of the referendum (I have my theories as of why which I will say later).

I think you may be referring to the judgement which made the election for the constitutional congress (a separate election the one which asked if we should adopt it, or parts of it), which was voided over (a rather petty) technicality (again I have my theories as to why). The parliament were able to bypass this by simply hiring the same people that won this election to the congress. The only thing this changes is that the mandate for writing the draft came from parliament instead of via a national election. And since it was composed of the same people, it changed absolutely nothing.

Now why then hasn’t the new constitution been adopted even though the nation voted to adopt it 12 years ago?

My theory is that the ruling parties are opposed to it, and don’t want it, even though the nation clearly wants it. Why are they opposed to it? My theory is that they are sheltering the interest of the fishing companies, since the new constitution makes it abundantly clear that the fisheries belong to the people of Iceland, and are not to be bought and sold like they are currently.
The only thing that's agreed upon and settled across OSs, is that reading from a regular file is always blocking, even with O_NONBLOCK.

This means that you neither epoll nor kqueue nor poll work if you ever need to read from a file.

I wish the BSDs and Linux and other platforms would align on non-blocking IO semantics. I just hope it's something new which can handle non-blocking IO with files too.
Why do you think that is? I no longer use socials outside of this one, and I know a strong element of my continuing use is the moderators and users.
Why would that make a lot of sense? Is there a large untapped electorate elsewhere on the spectrum? And more importantly, is there any evidence?
no double majority was required to join (no referendum at all...)

requiring a double majority to leave would the definition of stacking the deck in your favour
That doesn’t work well if the motherboard has a proprietary form factor/power requirements/riser cards/etc.

Plus, shipping a motherboard is much more difficult and expensive than a CPU.
> if you live in a large city and are willing or need to go out of your in-group, the diversity is much larger.

There's a double crux here; Firstly, why would you? By sheer numbers I'm sure there's more school teachers, insurance salespeople and tattoo artists in NY than where I currently live. But while in NYC, why would I have gone out of my way to meet people with these professions specifically when there was plenty of people demanding my time in my circles already? Where I currently live, I just meet them at the gym.

Secondly, this applies to the other side too. While in SF I once people went to a party with a group of people that was very into photography. I never saw them again. Thinking about their perspective, why would they have hung out with me again? We lived far from each other (Oakland vs SF), they had own clique, and I'm not really into photography. The pull was weak both ways. I don't share much with the insurance salesperson I met at the gym, but it's the daily routine that's led to a meeting point, without any side having to "try", chatting, etc.

NYC has diversity by the numbers, but if you talk about an individual's perspective, there's very strong clustering leading to local homogeneity. SF isn't that big, so I'm not even sure if it has more diversity by the numbers compared to where I now live. But the filters leading someone to move to SF are strong, as is thus the pull to cluster with people that are very similar to you based on where you live, shop, workout, etc.
But before the current tech boom in the mid 2000s, there was the "dot-com" boom in the 1990s and many early Web companies were in SF in the 1990s. And in the 1980s there was the financial sector boom as SF was the west-coast financial hub. You pretty much have to go back to the hippie era in the late 1960s/early 1970s to find a time when it was a cheap place to live.
I've seen lots of land acknowledgements from people who own land. Never once seen one put their money where their mouth is.
How is this the same if it says it doesn't support process id?

Can it ask you on new connection by a specific app whether to allow it like little snitch does?
Like all speculatory investments, which have little underlying value, the ride ends when the bubble bursts.

Usually this happens when the money runs out - when it's no longer possible to find the next "greater fool".

That might take a while - there's a LOT of money in the world, and a lot of greedy people willing to be convinced that there's gold in them thar hills.
There's a lot of useful learning in failing. It just helps if you can afford to fail, or be a startup and fail with other people's money
It's a bit of a moot point when CUDA will run 4 3060Tis in parallel, with further options for paging out to system memory. Since most models (particularly bigger/MOE ones) are sparsely decoded, you can get quite a lot of mileage out of multiple PCIe slots fed with enough bandwidth.

There's no doubt in my mind that the PC is the better performer if raw power is your concern. It's far-and-away the better value if you don't need to buy new hardware and only need a GPU. $2,000 of Nvidia GPUs will buy you halfway to an enterprise cluster, $2,000 of Apple hardware will get you a laptop chip with HBM.
They could have also dropped those rails by just dropping them, and leaving the connector the same. It’s pretty unlikely they needed the extra current on the 5V rail.

I think the headline is misleading.

The function in question only used by the dataset send/receive functionality to compute the checksum of the resume token, and by the zdb debug tool which is used to inspect the filesystem.

Importantly, it's not the function used to compute the checksum of the blocks on disk.

The resume token contains a header which includes the checksum in question as well as the length of the decompressed data in the token, followed by compressed data. The code checks that the length of the decompressed data matches the value stored in the header.

So, this means that the possibility for corruption is only when receiving a dataset and the token is corrupted in a way where Zlib decompresses the correct amount of data, but the last few bytes are incorrect.
Employment too? I thought that was excluded. IIRC EU citizens can’t just work in Switzerland.
Ask HN: What was your 2024 year in review?
I came across an year in review post and was curious what the HN crowd was up to. Feel free to share your experience or post link if any.
Path-based selection of tests, in every single CI system I have ever seen it implemented in, is wrong. TFA thankfully gets the "run the downstream dependent tests" which is the biggest miss, but even then, you can get the wrong answer. Say I have the following: paths a/* need to run tests A, and paths b/* need to runs tests B. I configure the CI system as such. Commit A' is pushed, changing paths under a/* only, so the CI runs tests A, only. The tests fail. A separate engineer, quickly afterwards (perhaps, lets say, even before the prior commit has finished; this could just be two quick merges) pushes commit B', changing paths under b/* only. The CI system runs tests B only, and they all pass so the commit is marked green incorrectly. Automated deployment systems, or other engineers, proceed to see passing tests, and use a broken but "green" build.

Since ever rarely do I see the downstream-tests requirement correctly done, and almost always the "successive miss" bug, I'm convinced for these reasons path based is just basically a broken approach. I think a better approach is to a.) compute your inputs to the tests, and cache results, and b.) have the CI system be able to suss out flakes and non-determinism. But I think a.) is actually quite difficult (enough to be one of the hardest problems in CS, remember?) and b.) is not at all well supported by the current CI systems.

(I have seen both of these approaches result in bad (known bad, had the tests run!) builds pushed to production. The common complaint is "but CI is slow" followed by a need to do something, but without care towards the correctness of that something. Responsibility for a slow CI is often diffused across the whole company, managers do not want to do the hard task of getting their engineers to fix the tests they're responsible for, since that just doesn't get a promotion. So CI remains slow, and brittle.)
It is a very large world though, and nationalism is more of an American shtick at the moment. It is totally possible that countries have to decide to trade with China or the USA (if they put down an infective embargo), but then it really depends on what America offers vs. China, and I don't think that is a great proposition for us.
First, private insurance shouldn't exist at all. It is rent-seeking of the highest order. There's no need for it. The US is the only country that works this way.

But let's put that aside. What we have now isn't amarket distortion caused by using pre-tax dollars for employer insurance. It's that an employer can collectively bargain for insurance in a way that an individual never can.

If you have 100,000 people in a group then statistical norms come into play of how often you'll need to do a transplant or [insert expensive procedure here]. Plus you have the negotiating power to get better coverage at a lower price than an individual ever can.

So individual insurance can never work regardless of tax policy. Tying insurance to employment is bad for pretty obvious reasons. And this is how we return to "private insurance shouldn't exist".
> LLMs, if tuned for software development, present an opportunity … to produce software of unprecedented quality and with as yet unseen features and usability.

Given that I can barely get LLMs to produce an error free couple of functions I doubt that. Though I suspect it’ll boost the median quality of software.

IMHO software quality requires care and skill along with a management that values quality.

Take Meta, they had billions of dollars and spent it freely. Yet the Metaverse software is mediocre at best. They had John Carmack in their rosters and the Mets developers reportedly ignored him. Giving those developers the ability to make more code won’t make the results magically good.
I made a good living in the 90s going to orgs with "network problems" and fixing things. One of the most common problems was a coax ethernet network that had outgrown itself.

The fix was installing a 10bT/100bTX switch, installing 100bTX NICs in the servers, and breaking up their 10b2/10b5 networks into smaller segments each with media converter connecting it to the switch. An unmanaged 16/24-port 10/100 switch was "only" a couple hundred bucks back then.
why? Isn't there some PI software or network router software I can use that will monitor all devices on my network and given me all the same info?

In that case I fully encourage you to try HRT for the opposite sex. You fully believe it will have no effect on you so please prove that point.
Otherwise you make good points. Companies like Intuit using AI as a justification to lay off lots of devs will face issues later when it comes about that it doesn’t scale.
Thanks!

It's a lot more than just simply CUE+templates, for example, when writing a code generator for any language, how you format the generated code requires some thought. You cannot rely on the tools being present on the machine and shelling out for each file becomes a major time sink. You really want to do this in memory before the 3-way diff that supports being able to iteratively update the design (inputs to code gen) and the manual changes in the generated code
You need a lot of space for that, cooling, and a good fuse that won't trip when you turn it on. I would totally just pay the money for an M4 Ultra MacStudio with 128 GB of RAM (or an M4 Max with 64 GB). It is a much cleaner setup, especially if you aren't interested in image generation (which the Macs are not good at yet).

If I could spend $4k on a non-Apple turn key solution that I could reasonably manage in my house, I would totally consider it.
This is just ignorance and hate, fabrications that don't pass even the most basic examination, all to rationalize racist white supremacy.

If you want to identify dangers to you, don't do it by skin color. Look at the people telling you to be afraid, to hate, urging you to it. Those aren't good people, and they don't have your interests at heart. They are using you for truly bad things. No respected leader in US history or elsewhere does those things - think of Washington, Lincoln, Churchill, etc.

The only problem is you believing this nonsense. Stop and I promise, your life will be easier and all these supposed threats will vanish as soon as they leave your mind. I spend much of my life in integrated environments, with absolutely no hint of a problem. Everything is fine, until the bigots show up.

Now if we could deport bigotry, imagine how much more peace and happiness we'd have. What a waste of life it is.

SF will never be a cheap place to live like Honolulu will never be a cheap place to live. It is just such a nice city (even with the unhoused problem) that rich people without jobs will always bid up property prices, and young people will settle for various careers and substandard living situations.
Trying to understand, wouldn't you see the same issues if you depended on an API that had a breaking change?

I guess my view is that shitty interfaces are shitty and people don't think enough about forwards/backwards compatibility, but it's not tied to a pure SDK or API problem

I don't think WordPress is a good example at all. All sorts of weird stuff gets shoehorned into Excel (see the horrors of any prop trading firm). The point is: Excel is wildly successful, because before it was a platform, it was a solution to an important specific problem. Same with WordPress.

You're falling into the Zombocom trap when your initial value proposition is the same as Zombocom's.
Wouldn't it be better to tax all disposable objects in proportion to their impact on the environment or something like that? These single shot bans seem easy to go around.
Grr. Genuinely tempting, but I didn't wish it had to be in NY, nor hybrid :(
im okay with it as long as it comes with conveniences, e.g. better type safety and better handling of errors.

Is that just an artifact of its relative unpopularity? Running your own email server used to be easy too, before the spammers wrecked it. If Mastodon became popular, it would presumably come with a large spam problem, with the same sorts of solutions.

Belgium has special rules limiting immigration that don’t apply to most the EU.

I wish I had more details on this. It just comes from a stray comment in a newspaper.
The fallacy most people make is assuming the status quo, making a change, and imagining that there are no other resultant changes.

A change like this would be a dramatic shift and the indirect economic consequences are mostly impossible to foresee.

For a simple example the overwhelming majority of jobs that involve unpredictable physical labor aren't going anywhere - everything from janitors to plumbers to doctors.

But in this brave new world these workers, especially the lower paid, would likely require dramatic pay increases, when they have the option of simply not working for an at least comparable 'salary' (and presumably much more if former white collar workers expect their basic to provide more than a janitorial salary). So now you end up turning the labor market upside down with dramatic changes in the overall economic system.

And keep in mind how finely balanced economies are - most Western economies, if growing, are only growing by a couple of percent by year. And now imagine hitting them with this scale of change.

It would have an effect, but that effect is not the puberty of the opposite sex. This would be an impossible outcome.

You are male. If you took estrogen - either now, or as a child - you would not begin to menstruate, you would not experience changes to the vaginal surface, you would not start to ovulate, and so on. Female puberty is a developmental process that only applies to those who are female.
«many arson attacks» is a hyperbole.

There have been few isolated incidents of the tobacconist stores having been set ablaze, but it does not equate to, e.g. east coast Australian capital cities, being engulfed in putrid smouldering fires emanating from the said tobacconist shops.

Australian government introduced a (rushed) law in July this year that outlawed street sales of vapes and obligated local pharmacies to sell the officially licensed vapes instead, which has caused a uproar and a revolt on behalf of the Pharmacist Guild who bluntly refused to stock and distribute the vapes. The pharmacies that are not the guild members have made decisions at their own discretion. The drama is still unfolding.
Jeffrey D. Sachs spent quite a lot of time in Moscow and many communist countries. He has a great affinity for them. He was on their payroll. To believe anything he writes would be no different than believing Putin himself.

There is not one piece of evidence that "There were in fact two main U.S. provocations. The first was the U.S. intention to expand NATO to Ukraine and Georgia in order to surround Russia"

This is a complete lie and Ukraine and Georgia were not even seeking NATO membership. He has absolutely no credibility and provides zero evidence for all his claims.
Yeah, I don’t know about what is included in the bilateral agreement with Switzerland. But at least in EEA (which is EU + EFTA - Switzerland) you are free to work in any of the member states.
Provoked has to be understood somewhat non-pajoratively. If you accept war is politics by other means and vice versa then this is a reasonably rational take on what triggered things for a Russian state obsessed with feeling "sureounded"

The boundary of your state you don't defend is the boundary you don't hold might apply to either side of a boundary, which means the first mover to change "provokes" no matter what.

It doesn't help that Russia has enclaves. It increases their concern of growing another in Crimea.

(I do not regard this provocation as causative and before the inevitable political solution the west and NATO need to commit to a long term massive cost increase to put Russian expansionism on the back foot. The soft war of arson and cable cuts have to stop. Ukraine's territorial losses and other burdens suggest to me it will be a painful messy settlement)
Australian police: "We're not saying all tobacconists are linked with the sale of illicit tobacco, but what we are saying is that people are being targeted, businesses are being targeted because the organisers police allege are linked to the sale of illicit tobacco are simply standing over them."

Nope. EMTALA means hospitals have to evaluate, and if necessary, stabilize you, and that’s it. If you’ve got a growing cancer or some expensive chronic disease that’s causing serious problems, they’ll do what they can to stop those problems from killing you in any given visit, but they absolutely will not treat cancer with the intent of curing it or help you control a chronic disease knowing they’ll never recoup payment. They’ll give you a prescription for insulin but they’re certainly not going to fill it for you, no matter how big of an emergency it is or how much the hospital visit cost. Even then, they still bill you for all of the services they do render and medical bills still bankrupt people. Needing to make sure someone isn’t going to die in the next few hours is very different from taking the financial responsibility for treating a very expensive medical problem.

By your theory, and by the endless claims of the anti-EU crowd, but it hasn't been. People use euros with no problem, every day, for transactions large and small. It's a major international currency, maybe second only to the dollar.
